im having trouble getting Anchorage to work when im in it the imperial gurd skins dont work and has a red exclamation mark and i tried putting the mesha and textures in the right stop but its the same thing and i check without going into the Anchorage and the skins work pls help

alright, i had a look into it and if your having problems with the imperial guard armor having big red ! marks, then that is actually my fault. i put it in the wrong directory. their is an easy fix for it, all you need to do is go to this directory:

\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data\Meshes\armor\SpaceMarine

in this directory, you should see a folder called "imperial guard"
what you want to do is cut this folder and merge it with the "imperial guard" folder, located here:
\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data\Meshes\armor

because the invalidation is screwing up... this is why i like using the FOMM instead of just the simple txt archiveinvalidation because you can turn it on and off for everything.

the easiest way to fix the problem is to turn off the invalidation open the game and maybe try to continue your game (do not save or try to enter/exit anywhere) then exit the game and turn the invalidation back on. if everything is installed properly the textures should load fine without the glitch showing random textures. if the problem persists then it is most likely the engine (did that before the patches came out, and still happens randomly).

The download for the expansion pack 1 appears to be missing or something, maybe that's just me, but I figured I should bring it up. This mod looks great, and I can't wait until the expansion pack is avaliable so I can get Tau armor and weapons too.
